BACKGROUND Pain is a common experience in adolescence, with up to 44% of adolescents reporting chronic pain. For a significant minority, severe pain becomes an ongoing disabling problem. Treatment of adolescent chronic pain aims to reduce the impact of pain on adolescents' lives. Efficient, accurate assessment of the impact of pain is essential to treatment. The 'Bath Adolescent Pain Questionnaire' (BAPQ) is a psychometrically robust multidimensional self-report measure of adolescent functioning. Whilst widely used, the paper-based format of the BAPQ can present completion difficulties for adolescents experiencing chronic pain. To increase the accessibility and clinical utility of the BAPQ, an electronic version of the measure is needed. This study assesses the usability and feasibility of a computerized version of this measure (BAPQ-C) in an adolescent chronic pain population. METHODS Fourteen adolescents (13 females; 13-16 years) were recruited from a hospital-based residential pain management programme. Participants completed a qualitative 'thinking aloud task' whilst completing the BAPQ-C. and, an acceptability questionnaire regarding the BAPQ-C. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, a widely used qualitative method of data analysis . RESULTS Two themes labelled 'engagement and technological appeal' and 'accessibility and independence' were generated. Themes revealed numerous factors contributing to participants' preference for the BAPQ-C compared with the paper version of the BAPQ. Participants reported that the BAPQ-C was 'quicker' and 'easier' to complete than the BAPQ. Functional aspects of the BAPQ-C which included use of a touch screen rather than a pen and paper, font colours/styles, the zoom function and the spellchecker, provided participants with improved access. This subsequently increased participants' independence and confidence when completing the measure. CONCLUSION The BAPQ-C is a feasible multidimensional tool for the assessment of functioning in adolescents who experience chronic pain. It was well-received by participants who were able to complete the measure more quickly, independently and confidently than the paper-based BAPQ. Increased speed, ease and accuracy of completion make the BAPQ-C an ideal tool for use in busy clinical and research settings. Findings highlight the potential benefits of adopting the BAPQ-C when assessing the impact of chronic pain on adolescents in clinic and home-based settings.

巴斯青少年疼痛问卷的计算机版本:BAPQ-C的可用性和可行性研究。

背景技术疼痛是青春期的常见经历,多达44%的青少年报告慢性疼痛。对于少数人来说,剧烈的疼痛成为一个持续的致残问题。青少年慢性疼痛的治疗旨在减少疼痛对青少年生活的影响。有效,准确地评估疼痛的影响对于治疗至关重要。“ Bath青少年疼痛问卷”(BAPQ)是对青少年功能进行心理计量的多维自我报告指标。BAPQ的纸质格式已被广泛使用,但对于患有慢性疼痛的青少年可能会出现完成困难。为了增加BAPQ的可访问性和临床实用性,需要该措施的电子版本。这项研究评估了该方法的计算机版本(BAPQ-C)在青少年慢性疼痛人群中的可用性和可行性。方法从以医院为基础的住院疼痛管理计划中招募14名青少年(13名女性; 13-16岁)。参加者在完成BAPQ-C时完成了定性的“大声思考任务”。以及有关BAPQ-C的可接受性调查表。使用主题分析(一种广泛使用的定性数据分析方法)分析数据。结果产生了两个主题,分别为“参与和技术吸引力”和“可达性和独立性”。与纸质版本的BAPQ相比,主题揭示了许多因素导致参与者对BAPQ-C的偏爱。与会者报告说,BAPQ-C“很快” 并且比BAPQ更容易完成。BAPQ-C的功能方面包括使用触摸屏而非笔和纸,字体颜色/样式,缩放功能和拼写检查器,为参与者提供了更好的访问权限。随后增加了参与者在完成该措施时的独立性和信心。结论BAPQ-C是一种可行的多维工具,可用于评估患有慢性疼痛的青少年的功能。与基于纸质的BAPQ相比,他们能够更快,更独立,更自信地完成该指标,因此受到参与者的好评。BAPQ-C的提高的速度,简便性和完成的准确性使其成为繁忙的临床和研究环境中的理想工具。
